1994 Mazda 4.0L rattles during first 1000 rpms. 142k miles. Has as long as can remember. Exhaust shop said there was a tick they could hear in the oil pan/bell housing area when I had them install a test pipe. I swear I can barely hear a tick while driving (only under load), maybe, or I'm imagining it lol. I'm running fresh mobile 1 10w/30 high millage and a can of liquimoly ceratec additive. Had the valve covers off yesterday and had zero sludge or carbon buildup as I recently did a 3 stage flush and replaced pushrods and rocker arms.
Does anyone else have a half second rattle noise immediately after startup?
Could it be a wrist pin, rod bearing?
